[Jacob-list] Canadian sheep pedigrees

[Thomas Simmons]

Pam -

I have nothing substantial, as Dan kept a fairly closed flock for a long
time.  I do know that he added some of Megan Scammel's sheep (Northcote,
from Ontario), when she disbanded.  As a rule, Dan did not keep long-term
records and ran much of his flock together for much of the time.  He named
most of them by number and not by name.

I sat at Dan's kitchen table and was able to piece together just a little
bit, as it related to my own sheep. I include it below, just in case you are
able to piece together what I know with what someone else knows and come up
with a more complete "tree:"

Killorglin Buddy was Dan's main sire for many years.  Breeding Buddy to "Dam
#2," he produced Killorglin #7 in the spring of '95 (now at my farm with the
name Killorglin Marilla, and who gave me a ram lamb last year, Creaganlios
Mordecai).

A ewe named Killorglin #6 was produced by Killorglin Ewe #3 by un unknown
sire of the "Novack" line.  Killorglin #6 ran with the flock (which included
both Buddy and this Novack ram), and produced Killorglim #15 in the Spring
of 1996 (now at my farm with the name Killorglin Rachel-Lynde).

The ewe Dan called "Killorglin 99" was actually born at the Northcote farm
in Ontario in the spring of 1988 of unknown Northcote dam and sire.  She is
now at my farm under the name of Northcote Anne-Shirley.

Hope that helps an infintessimal bit...:-)
